remarkable from its fruit; the third species, Veronica brevistyla is

Skandinaviens Fiskar. Nos. 1 to 6. 4to. Stockholm, 1836 to 1840. 
The sixth part of this excellent work on the Fishes of Scandi- 
navia, with coloured figures of the species, has lately been received 
in this country. The text of the first five parts was supplied by 
B. F. Fries and C. U. Ekstrém, but the lamented death of M. Fries 
interfered for a time with the continuation of the work. | 
-Under a new arrangement Professor C. J. Sundevall takes the 
place of M. Fries, and the sixth part has been put forth with addi- 
tional claims to our praise. In the former parts the whole of the 
text was given in the Swedish language, but with the sixth part 
descriptions in Latin are also added, which will be continued in the 
future parts, and we have no doubt the authors will find their ac- 
count in thus rendering their work more generally useful. 
Six coloured plates are included in each part; the fishes are most 
correctly drawn on stone by Mr. W. Wright, an English artist re- 
siding at Stockholm, and all are beautifully as well as faithfully 
coloured. This work is calculated to be particularly serviceable to 
_ the Ichthyologist, as it will contain excellent figures of all the 
Scandinavian fishes known to Linneus; while its value to the En- 
glish naturalist may be inferred from the fact, that of the 47 co- 
loured figures contained in the 36 plates, 44 are faithful represen- 
tations of fishes belonging to the British islands. 
The six parts, with six coloured plates to each, contain 140 pages 
of letter-press in the Swedish language, with 16 pages of descrip- 
tions in Latin; there are besides, 44 pages of letter-press and three 
extra uncoloured plates, devoted to the description and illustration 
of nets and other instruments of capture, with the modes of employ- 
ing them. 
Two parts of this work are now promised every twelve months. 
Nos. 7 and 8 are to appear in the course of the year 1841.
